Pulling away the magic curtain to say “lol” @ “Previously on 23.”

Chestnuts roasted by Matt @ 11/29/2008 5:07 PM


say wha? does that mean yes?

Chestnuts roasted by Andrew2H @ 11/29/2008 6:24 PM


I think it just means Matt likes popular culture-based humour.

My guess is that we’ll more likely get a wrap-up of past events on 1st December through a tie-in with Knacks’ MySpace blog, kinda like last year. Or we’ll rejoin to action already taking place…First few frames of new calendar being our heroes running through gritty streets, feet splashing through puddles that in dim streetlight could either be from rain or something more sinister spilled. Running, close-ups to feet, to faces, to hands holding weapons…to shadows looming over them. A panicked expression, a tightened grip. Surrounded.

Sin City!

From what I can see, the latest pictures depict a zombie lego man throwing rocks from a castle, and Christmas Trees having rock thrown at them. Hare is planning an ALL OUT attack against the gang.

Jeez, Guise, inspire me to draw non-hw things, why doncha.

And next time, I promise to grammar check myself before posting….XD And I call myself a college student.

Hm, not sure about what is being thrown…think it might be a Plot Point(tm) as whatever it is has been blurred out…

Chestnuts roasted by Guise @ 11/29/2008 10:29 PM


Oh, and hey…comparison time folks.
This: http://dinosaurdracula.com/batribII/Untitled-14.jpg
to the outer walls of this: http://www.toysdirect.com/images/big/PL4230L.jpg

The ‘ticks’ on the side of the image are the lower walls, the round circles are the knobbly bits on the roof?

Chestnuts roasted by Guise @ 11/29/2008 10:33 PM


can you unblur in photoshop? also, http://dinosaurdracula.com/batribII/Untitled-9.jpg looks like a evil version of the pic when Leviathan gets summoned http://www.x-entertainment.com/adventcalendar/2007/december23/harecall1.jpg

Untitled 13 seems to me the zombie man holding the sides of the wall on the castle, not throwing (as the arms of these toys don’t have any articulation); perhaps he is pointing downwards. The blurred areas seem rather arbitrary, so there’s a chance that there isn’t much behind them, they’re simply red herrings (i hope I’m wrong).

Chestnuts roasted by Dio and Lucas @ 11/30/2008 12:02 AM


Maybe he’s not ‘holding’ the wall…I mean, that looks quite the SSF he has there, ifyouknowwhatimean.

Chestnuts roasted by Guise @ 11/30/2008 12:15 AM


SSF? what?

Chestnuts roasted by Andrew2H @ 11/30/2008 12:27 AM


does that mean the finger?

Chestnuts roasted by Andrew2H @ 11/30/2008 12:31 AM

Yeah.

Chestnuts roasted by Dio and Ness @ 11/30/2008 12:39 AM


I’m not sure if anyone mentioned this yet, but I read earlier that someone searched for the “You mess with the spirit world..”, so I searched for it on X-E. It’s the name of an article, at http://www.x-entertainment.com/articles/0424/ . You might want to take a look at the background image, HELLO.gif.

Chestnuts roasted by Sami @ 11/30/2008 3:20 AM


Okay, about 11 days late. Whatever.

Chestnuts roasted by Sami @ 11/30/2008 3:22 AM


Aha! Sorry for the multiple posts, but I DID find a new clue on “You mess with the spirit world…”. The bottom link to download Graveyard High now points to a YouTube video of “Demon in Disguise” by David Bromberg. Here are the lyrics:
Far beneath your perfect eyes
hides a demon thats in disguise
jagged teeth and bulging veins
but appears to be the same
and your touch is like a fire
igniting all that comes in contact
better back up or else i will burn
as for now ive come to see
that you’re not what you seem to be
you’re just a demon thats in disguise
far beneath your perfect eyes
and your touch is like a fire
igniting all that comes in contact
better back up or else i will burn
i never knew what to do
i never knew to comfort you
i never saw the way things were
i never knew
i had no clue

Could be referring to Mare or Cher?

Chestnuts roasted by Sami @ 11/30/2008 4:48 AM


Whoa…..I wonder how long that’s been that way. Most of Matt’s links don’t work for the old articles, I never really thought to try them anymore. ^^;;;;

Eh, just cuz I can, and SSF is just that awesome. I think i want a shirt for this.

Chestnuts roasted by Dio and Ness @ 11/30/2008 5:00 AM


Sami…those aren’t the lyrics to the video, those are the lyrics to the Five Cent Wish version.

Demon in Disguise

Don’t let the glasses fool ya
Stand beside me when you measure my size
Don’t let false estimations rule ya
So even you might come to realize

I ‘ve been a Wizard since my childhood
And I have earned some respect from my art
Cause I rule the spirits that live in the wildwood
And every evening I talk to the stars

I stand tall with the unseen powers
So why should I be scared of you
I could fill your house with flowers
And I could poison all your mirrors too

I’ve been a Wizard since my childhood
And I have earned some respect from my art
Cause I rule the spirits that live in the wildwood
And every evening I talk to the stars

I know we all have sisters and brothers
But don’t take me to be just one more
I know you dealt this way with many others
But here I come to try and even out the score

Well now I really think that you should have guessed by now
That I’m a Demon, uh, in Disguise
You’re just a little bit behind all the rest somehow
I mean you missed all the hints that showed the truth to the wise

You know you shouldn’t let the glasses fool ya
Stand beside me when you measure my size
Don’t let false estimations rule ya
So even you might come to realize

I am a Demon in Disguise

Those Demomn in Disguise lyrics make me wonder… maybe one of the existing characters has been Arcano THE ENTIRE TIME! Just waiting for the perfect time to unmask themselves and take over. And Doctor… Doctor wears glasses!

Okay, the castle in Untitled-13 looks like it’s the front battlements on this one: http://www.playmobil.de/on/demandware.store/Sites-DE-Site/de_DE/Product-Show?pid=3269&CatalogCategoryID=Ritter It’s that design embossed onto the wall in the lower left corner of the pic that make me sure, there isn’t another castle with details like that.

Chestnuts roasted by Jen @ 11/30/2008 7:13 AM


Guise – I think you’re right about Untitled-14 being the circus, the ‘tick’ patterns look a lot like the patterns on the outside of the Big Top.

Demon in Disguise Ramblings (first off, the title sounds an awful lot like Spirit in the Sky)

“Don’t let the glasses fool ya”-the Doctor wears glasses, and he’s been the subject of a few pics on batribII. also, some pictures of Santa have him wearing glasses. possesion of a Santa, perhaps? also leading to Waiterbot!

“Stand beside me when you measure my size, Don’t let false estimations rule ya, So even you might come to realize”- Playmobil and Lego guys are basically small people, and as we’ve seen in previous calendars, even the characters with not much plot development have miraculous powers (case in point, James Liptons arm cavity flamethrowers)

“I ‘ve been a Wizard since my childhood
And I have earned some respect from my art
Cause I rule the spirits that live in the wildwood
And every evening I talk to the stars”- most mares to date have magic hand energy that can be seen even after coming out of the box, and Hare has “practiced black magic for centurys”, earning the shakey trust of others on Almathea. Also, “I rule the spirits that live in the Wildwood”? That in no doubt means that someone is controling the spirits in, or living in the old, burned downed Dracula’s Mansion in Wildwood. And “every evening I talk to the stars” could be a metaphor about the star (maybe snow) backgrounds in the advent and arcano.info, and most Advents are posted in the afternoon.

“I stand tall with the unseen powers
So why should I be scared of you
I could fill your house with flowers
And I could poison all your mirrors too”- the two princess traitors from last years advent were really tall, and were unseen as enemys until the final battle. and the Princess calendar had lots of flowers. also, there are alot of unseen nooks and crannys in the guys old house, and Kuse said they could live off selling Hares magic equipment left in the basement. Also, the whole thing sounds like something Waiterbot would say (“I am Waiterbot! I am tall, and will poison your stuff, and fill your house with year-old plastic flowers!”)

“I know we all have sisters and brothers
But don’t take me to be just one more
I know you dealt this way with many others
But here I come to try and even out the score”- this sounds like the whole thing about there being a bunch of Mares and they can be girls, boys, and Bunnys, and a new one or an old one is wanting to seperate itself from how the others act, and the gang should take this seriously, even though they’ve gone through it a jillion times before.

“Well now I really think that you should have guessed by now
That I’m a Demon, uh, in Disguise
You’re just a little bit behind all the rest somehow
I mean you missed all the hints that showed the truth to the wise”- this sounds like that we’ve missed the hints that lead to the real identity of who a character really is.

man, that was weird.
